It Must Be a River

From Brewing Up with Billy Bragg (2006 Reissue)2006

Lyrics

It Must Be a River

Something starts swimming inside of me At the sound of your name And the pressure on my lips I'm falling, falling It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away Something starts swimming inside of me At the sound of your name And the water on fire I'm falling, falling It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away Something starts swimming inside of me At the sound of your voice And the waterfall's walling I'm drowning, drowning It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away It must be a river 'Cause it swept me away It must be a river It swept me away
